Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9805285A1] This invention is an absorbent article including a first flap (100) extending laterally outward from longitudinal side edges (26) of a main body portion (22). A second flap (102) is offset to one of longitudinal end edges (28) of the absorbent article (22), and formed with a larger width than a transverse width of the main body portion (22) at which the first flap (100) is positioned. The first flap (100) is folded over along a side edge of a leg opening of a wearer's undergarment (200). The second flap (102) is maintained in a broadened condition within the wearer's undergarment (200). A joining part (104) is provided to connect the first flap (100) with the second flap (102) on the outside of the longitudinal side edges (26) of the main body portion (22). A zone of extensibility (116) is provided in a region of at least a portion of the joining part (104) where the side edge of the leg opening of the undergarment (200) is placed when the absorbent article is used.
